Abstract excerpt
Antigenic variation associated with genetic diversity in global Plasmodium falciparum apical membrane antigen-1 (PfAMA-1) is a major impediment to designing an effective malaria vaccine. Here, we report the first study on genetic diversity and natural selection of the Pfama-1 gene in P. falciparum isolates from Cameroon. A total of 328 P. falciparum positive samples collected during 2016 and 2019 from five...
